A note from Alex of Pure Produce

Hello everyone this message is coming from Farmer Alex himself from the farm Pure Produce. I’m the son of Chuck and Mayta Gomez who started this business some 30 years ago. I just wanted apologize for pulling the orders this Wednesday and to let everyone know that for this coming summer I will continue to grow my beautiful Lettuce Greens, Arugula, Sweet Holland Bell Peppers, Baby Seedless English Cucumbers, Ghost Peppers, and Cherry Tomatoes for as long as mother nature will let me. As always it will be pesticide free and non GMO of course. You all are my friends and family we deserve to eat the best so that’s why everyday I will continue to grow the best. If you wish to order from me and my farm I will be delivering and picking for Fridays Market.

Thank you for your support and desire to eat healthy.

NEW ON THEMARKET

It’s transition time!

As we approach the hot and rainy summer months you will notice less produce from Florida and more from Georgia, the Carolinas and even California. Sourcing from these more productive regions means you have more to choose from and costs are lower. We will soon be implementing a polling system so that members can vote for what produce they want to see on the market in an effort help reduce waste. Please take note that even though they may have less available, many of our local farmers are still producing summer crops including greens.

NEW! Local Greens Box!
